Hm, subsequent Shadow Campaigns books had, in order, two, then one, then no instances of "bonelessly". I've decided to take credit for this, and, by extension, for how great a series it is. (@DjangoWexler may also deserve some credit).https://twitter.com/avibryant/status/545443918486061057 …

Replying to @avibryant @DjangoWexler
The Broken Earth series by
@nkjemisin had exactly 100 instances of "jaw" (not counting two "jawed"), of which 49 were in The Obelisk Gate alone.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
OK. Maybe you shouldn't drink to that one, then.

I feel like we need a reference number for occurrences per wordcout in a standard english corpus.

I don't have word counts, but "bonelessly" appears only once in the Broken Earth trilogy, and never in @BrianTMcClellan's Powder Mage series. OTOH it appears 3 times in @PatrickRothfuss's books to date. More research is clearly required.
